Abstract
Abstract
Island ecosystems represent outstanding natural laboratories for studying the interplay between ecology and evolution. Lavery et al., (2024) use genomic approaches to identify a remarkable example of repeated evolution in Hipposideros bats across the Solomon Islands archipelago. They show that larger-bodied bats have independently evolved on different islands, highlighting an exciting new system for exploring the ecological and evolutionary drivers of repeated evolution in mammals.
